Cross Transformer

Cross-transformers are a novel approach in deep learning that leverages the attention mechanism to model relationships between different data modalities or views within a single modality. Current research focuses on applying cross-transformers to diverse tasks, including image processing (pansharpening, denoising, change detection), object detection (especially in multi-view scenarios), and natural language processing integration for tasks like person attribute recognition. This approach shows promise in improving performance across various domains by effectively integrating complementary information from different sources, leading to more robust and accurate models than those relying on single-view or single-modality processing. The resulting improvements have significant implications for applications ranging from medical image analysis to remote sensing and computer vision.
